Resident Evil: Survivor (Japanese: Biohazard: Gun Survivor) is set in the isolated city of Sheena Island around November 1998. This game is a major departure from the series, deviating from the third-person perspective of the previous games to a first-person view. The Japanese and PAL versions of the game allowed use of the Namco GunCon, a light gun that gave the game a more arcade feel. The NTSC version did not allow the use of the GunCon, instead giving players a slower, more atmospheric gameplay experience.
